re: Johnny is Dale Brown Part Deaux!

The myth Dale Brown was not a x and o coach is very old and tiring. Brown was years ahead of the NBA using Tex's triangle offense in the mid 70's and it would be near 15 years later the NBA started using it league wise.

Brown's defense was light years ahead of the SEC, wish they played that kind of defense in the NBA.

Dale's last 3 teams lost it's top 3 players, Earl was forced by the NCAA to turn in LSU and go to Kansas, Livingston got hurt out of HS (would have been better than CJ from what I saw of him), and Randy got hurt at LSU. Given those 3 players LSU would have won those years imho.

When Dale got here LSU basketball was running on empty, very little talent, no depth, etc. He got in Glenn and the rest and turned a team that should have had a losing record and did what some said was his best coaching job ever at LSU. Personally I think his job in 1981-82 was his best, having lost Macklin, Cook, Martin and Sims; he took a small team and outplayed a number of very good SEC teams.
